DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
I'm sick of this whole deal. This time, I lost to the Khalhums Dwarf, and I'm
still the Duelmaster. Was there ever such a mess?
Koronedus
We standbys think of the poor muskrat Koronedus as our stalking horse. He's
pathetic, but he isn't dishonest and he knows to whom the title rightly belongs.
Gobiann Strongaxe
One of the many superior Dwarves of Khalhums
SPY REPORT
Like the magnificent Sun, rising upon the Dawn and exiling the Night for a Day,
I, Novgorodny Vir, return once again! The boys at THE GOLDEN FISH left the arena
dejected, after being kicked out of the top spot by TEAM HAVOK. Good show! Good
things come to those who fight well, as MEDAL OF HONOR A1 can attest, moving up by 0.
SEA DOGS had cause to celebrate, after SCURVY LAD got 27 points by beating VENDETTA.
A certain someone should cut down on the drinking and practice more, after losing 21
points to SCURVY LAD. (Discrete enough, VENDETTA?) In NIANIA, nothing is permanent
(except Death), and we find ourselves a new Duelmaster, 4 BRIDGES. Word has it one
team in NIANIA is taking speech lessons to try to bore their opponent to death. I'll
bet it works.
A Zenmaster once told me, 'Does not the spinning wheel turn? And do not the
little birds cry out?' Any ideas? Everyone is famous for fifteen minutes, and IRON
GYPSY is it right now. Most challenged warrior. Isn't TEAM HAVOK proud!
Is there life after death? Pragmatics (and warriors) know there is death after
life! Ponder the possibilities, NIANIA: THE GOLDEN FISH has allowed VENDETTA of
TEAM HAVOK to kill SASHINDA unchallenged! Is there no honour left??? Oh hard! that
to strike a flame, the match itself must needs be wasting!
All good things must come to an end. As if buffeted by forces of nature beyond
my control, I must take my leave of this place. Can anything compare to the pleasure
of writing Spyreports for NIANIA? On that giddy note I take my leave-- Novgorodny

PERSONAL ADS
Yes, well, Tarash Tarindanall the Embezzling Scribe. What else can I say, really?
He embezzled, I audited. -- Gillande
Wellondry of Osksi does not make a good advertisement for his city-state. -- Harolue
P.S. Of course, they threw him out, which may be an indication.
Yukio Okutsu -- A real opponent! Should I be flattered? Or complimented, which is a
different thing, of course. Whatever. I will admit that I'm surprised I won that.
-- Dolovor
Edward O'Hare -- Armor is your friend. -- Sarovond
P.S. Except in the swamp. Stay out of the swamp, and wear more armor.
Zag the Dip -- Do for you? How about...I won't tell the arenamaster that you picked
his pocket just before the fight. -- Sarovond
Harolue -- Would you believe me if I said I was just marking time, waiting for my
ship to come in so I can go home to Osksi without being tossed into debtors' prison?
-- Wellondry of Osksi
Gillande -- Heartless wench. -- Tarash Tarindanall the Embezzling Scribe
Vendetta -- And you're a heartless wench, too. -- Jenj, once a slave in Fratsfa
Hand of Hell -- Ha! -- Doland Sork, temporarily Captured Orc
Hand of God -- (heavy sigh) I could wish that such a visitation in my life meant
rescue. -- Jenj, once a slave in Fratsfa
Spiritual Pain -- I just had ENOUGH, okay? -- Jenj, once a slave in Fratsfa
